Oso planning to go pro
Im all for more playoff teams if they shorten the season a couple of weeks.
Only a matter of time, I suppose.Former MLB pitcher sues Astros, alleging sign-stealing cut short his career. Gave up four runs to the Astros while pitching in relief for the Blue Jays, never played in the majors again.https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/us/mlb-pitcher-mike-bolsinger-lawsuit-houston-astros-spt/index.html
Who is he gonna sue for the times he sucked before this happened?
Last year, PECTOA projected the following win totals for the NL Central:MIL 89 Actual= 89STL 89 Actual= 91CHC 84 Actual =84CIN 84 Actual =79PIT 66 Actual =69The projections for this year are:CIN 86CHC 85STL 80MIL 79PIT 70
C’mon man, at least type Spoiler Alert when you tell us what is going to happen this season. Now I’m gonna have to find something else to do all summer
I predict Braun will be dealt to a contender before July 31st. Just can't see Counsell and Stearns pulling another rabbit out of the hat this year.
That's a bold prediction. Braun is set to make $17M this year, and had a WAR of 1.8 last season. He can block a trade to any team other than LAA, LAD, TB, MIA, or WSH. I really, really don't think he's going anywhere.
Last year of his contract, fading vet looking for one more playoff run, and a team out of contention looking for salary relief and any decent return prospect? Doable.
If the Brewers are even remotely in the playoff hunt, they won't trade him IMO unless there is another viable option available.
Brewers can’t trade him and they know it. The brewers would have liked him gone a long, long time ago.
But that's the whole point. His contract was larger "a long, long time ago." Now it only has two years left, and is actually decreasing in value. If he continues to produce offensively, his tradability goes way up.
His contract - $16 mil for this year is not a bad value. If he is healthy and the Brewers are out of it before the trade deadline, I think they will definitely try to move him. It should be easy to do as a team that trades for him will only be on the hook for $4 mil in '21.
Sultan,Not sure how many teams would be interested in Braun. My guess is less then a few. Brewers would be ecstatic to move off of him.
Absolutely, who wouldn’t be ecstatic to unload last year’s .285/ 22/ 75, and .849 OPS. Not to mention defensive versatility, including at 1b, where question marks outside of him are huge. Not to mention final year of his contract. Plus, he’s as still clutch as they come. His grand slam last September at St Louis was arguably their clutch hit of 2019. No, his numbers no longer support how much they’re paying this year, but your opinion is about 2 or 3 years outdated.
I hear you on the numbers standpoint. But my point isn’t just about productivity, there’s other issues with Braun. I’ll leave it at that Wades,Feeling man enough this year to accept my offer on tickets and a meet and greet with the players?
